        What esc are you running fastisgood?

        On a side note, to all you guys out there who bought these 1520 castles during their clearance sale:
        These motors are NO GOOD and you dont want to even mess with them...send them to me and I will properly dispose of them for you

                    Most everything is posted in the Spartan RTR threads of this forum. Here are a few pics. Started this back in January.

                    Running a Leopard 4082 1500Kv, T-180 ESC, M645 prop, Speedmaster dual pickup rudder.




                    my best speed to date here



                    boat runs pretty stable in chop. But in smooth water its chinewalking, I feel is due to the torque of the new motor and prop. I can watch the videos i make in slow motion and see the boat lean over to starboard the start the chine. So now I am going to try and relocate the stinger a little up and to the right. in hopes to keep more of the vee in the water and offset to help counter torque.

                      like the pickups, how well do they move the water?
